How to Title New Pages Document

Using Pages on iPad 2 :
A default title (Blank 1,2,3, etc) is given to each New Pages document. Can I edit that title, and if so, how?.

Go to the screen with all of the documents, and then tap on the title 'Blank 1' and it should come to a new screen that allows you to change the title.

What's going on? When I type a title on my new Pages document, iwork is substituting a hyphen for the colon I want! Have never seen this one before. How do I correct this imposition? I have the 10.6.8 OS and Pages'09.

What's going on? When I type the title of my new Pages document, iwork is substituting a hyphen for the colon I want. This is bizarre! How do I make my computer do my thing vs its thing? I have Pages '09.

Colons are used by the operating system so can't be used in file names.

How do I export Pages document into iPhoto

How do I export Pages document into iPhoto?

Hi PhilipFG and FoxFifth,
I've been using the same process Pages > PDF > iPhoto. However, when it gets to iPhoto there's a lot of waiting around time for it to allow me to do anything i.e. cropping, enhancing. The little coloured ball is just turning and turning. It's not happy to be there! There is a big difference (it appears) in the resolution when it ends up in iPhoto using this process. The images have shadows. My business partner has an older Mac and can export directly to iPhoto from Pages without having to create a PDF first. Perhaps this is just an option on the older one but she now can't open the pages file I send to her either. Besides the fact that she clearly needs a new Mac...has anyone any further updates on what else can be done to export directly to iPhoto? TIA

Preview not opening new pages documents after Yosemite upgrade

Just upgraded to Yosemite and also upgraded Pages to 5.5. Created a new Pages document and now, in Finder, the preview does not work. If I control click on the pages file and select open with Preview I get an error "The file “XXXXX.pages” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Existing (previous version) Pages documents do open in Finder. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes this has been reported by others.
No solution, so far.

"How to retrieve deleted Pages document."

How to retrieve deleted Pages document? Thanks.

If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine. Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.

I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
And here is a slew of other help articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

HT1373 How can I find Pages documents I've created on my iPad on my Mac?

How can I find Pages documents that I've created on my iPad on my Mac? I have iCloud set up. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have turned on iCloud on the iPad and on the Mac, you can see your documents created on the iPad if you are using Pages '09 and OS X Mountain Lion. Open Pages and the iCloud window will appear with the documents.
If you don't have Mountain Lion and/or Pages '09, you can access to them on http://www.icloud.com, choosing iWork

Can the default text in new Pages documents be changed? if so how?

Can I change the default font style in Pages? If so how? I want all documents I wish to create to open in a new font.

Hi Sheila,
Open a new blank document from Template Chooser. Set the font and anything else you want as your standard, then File > Save As Template.
Then in Pages > Preferences > General > For new documents > Use Template > Choose
Then when you open Pages from the Dock (or LaunchPad if your system has that) you will get a blank document based on that template. Same when you go to File > New (command n)

Ian.

How to join several Pages documents

Hello
I have several individual documents and would like to join them into one document. The individual documents contains text with a lot of pictures.
When I try to select the whole document, just the text is selected.
How is is possible to select the whole document?
Is there another possibility to join Pages documents into one document?
Thank you for helping

Here is a step-by-step commented example of how to copy multiple, mixed format Pages documents to a single document:
1) Open and/or create appropriate documents for merging. In this example, I will merge the title "Family Newsletter" page to a new "Blank" page document. I tend to prefer to copy old documents into a new document "in case of accidents" even though this may require more work. By doing so, I preserve each of my original documents until I am quite sure they will no longer be needed. In addition, by copying to an inserted blank page, you ensure an automatic section break. (If working with two or more documents you could, of course, simply copy one or more projects to an old document to save time/effort.)
a) Boot Pages
b) Create a new project using the first template in the "Family Newsletter" pallet
c) Create a second new document using the "Blank" template
2) The next step is to plan how you wish to conduct the copy process. The Family Newsletter is a complex template consisting of a "Master" layer (bordered shapes), the dedicated word processor layer, and floating objects anchored to the page. I could work with each of these "layer groups" individually, but, since I am lazy, I will work by "class" of items instead. In this case, I find it easier to move the dedicated word processor layer first.
a) Select the project from which you wish to move the word processor layer and click in any of the "place holder" areas contained therein. This places you in the Word Processor mode of context operations.
b) Now use the "Select all" Edit menu option. All instances of text in the dedicated word processor layer should now be highlighted.
c) Copy the selected material using the "Copy" Edit menu option (Command-C) to the clipboard. (NOTE: Items can be "drag 'n dropped" in this mode but not in the "Fixed/Floating" mode. Therefore, I recommend using copy/paste at all times so as not to cause confusion or problems selecting destination layer mode.)
d) Select the "Blank" document window to activate it and then click in the word processor layer to ensure you will be pasting the copied material into the proper destination layer.
e) Now paste the clipboard copied material into the dedicated word processor layer by using the "Paste" Edit menu option (Command-V).
3) While all "object" class items can normally be copied in a single operation, the "Master" layer objects in this example happen to be locked and, therefore, are not selectable/copiable without some "pre-processing."
a) The first step is to use the "Advanced" Make Master Objects Selectable option under the Format menu to make the master layer objects selectable.
b) Next select first one of the border objects and, then while holding down the shift key, select the other border.
c) Once both objects are selected, use the "Unlock" Arrange menu option to make them accessible for copying.
d) Since the border objects are already selected and we are now in the "Object" mode of operation, use the "Select All" Edit menu option to select all other "object class" items on the page.
e) Copy all "object class" items to the clipboard using the "Copy" Edit menu option (Command-C).
f) Activate the destination project window by clicking on it. Now margin-click the new window to ensure you are in the "object" mode of operation.
g) Paste all objects to the new document using the "Paste" Edit menu option (Command-C).
4) DON'T PANIC! While it may appear that much of you work has disappeared, it is really still there and simply in need of a bit of post-copy processing.
a) To deselect all objects and ensure you are still in the "Object" mode, again margin-click the destination document.
b) Shift-click both border objects to select them.
c) Use the "Send to Back" Arrange option to send the borders to the "bottom" of your stack of layers.
(Continued...)

How can I merge documents with layout written with pages? How can I copy pages-document with layout and paste it into another pages document?

Hi
I am working with pages for a book and have made already a layout whre photos and graphs etc. are partly outside of the area for the text, their posotion is not fixed the the text.
And now I nedd support: When I add text or a photo to the layout the text moves and the unfixed photos etc. keep there position. This means I have to update each photo or graph to shift it to the new position ore I have to place photos etc. within the frame of the text, which is not the kind of layout I am going for.
I hope for two reliefs, which I do not know how to realize it.
1. If I specify each chapter as a new partition starting with own page (then I hoped) the new section would shift together into a new page and the positions of photos etc. and text would stay fix. But unfortunately this seeems not to be the case. Question: is this possibe orno? If yes, how to do it?
I could divede the whole txt chapter by chapter into individual documents, which are seperatly created and worked. At the end I would have to merge all this document into one. Is it possibe to merge different pages-document into one document?
Who can help me?
Thanks Hartmut

Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.

How do i upload Pages documents and folders to iCloud and make sure they sync on all my devices?

Hi,
I'm new to iCloud and don't really know how to use it yet. I have a desktop Mac, a Macbook Pro laptop and an iPad. Currently all my Pages documents are on my desktop computer. I would like to upload them to iCloud and then have it set so that they automatically sync and I can access them on all my devices. I want to make sure I always have the most up to date version of a document when I open it on any device, without having to update manually. Can anyone tell me please how I do this? Can I keep them in folders (there are a lot of documents!).
Also, because I just upgraded Pages and was previously using Pages 09 it keeps asking me each time I open a document if I want to upgrade it to the current Pages. Can I somehow set this as default now so I won't keep having to say yes?
Thanks for any help!

To use icloud, enable it (using the same Apple ID) on all your devices. If you move a document that already exists to iCloud, it will automatically be available to all your devices. Ditto on new doc: if you save it to icloud when you name it, it will automatically be available to all your devices. If you make a change on one device, you'll be prompted on other devices to pick the one you want to keep,
One BIG proviso: pages 5.1, and Pages for icloud, are VERY BUGGY. Users here complain of corrupted files, lost data, the program hanging, etc. DO NOT user them for anything you care about.
Also, Pages 5.1, as exhaustively documented here, is a pale shadow of Pages 4.3. Nearly a hundred features present in 4.3 are not present in Pages 5.1, including such basic things as mail merge, bookmarks, meaningful Applescript and Services support. You cannot even set the default zoom, reliably export documents with links to a PDF, or view comments while editing (nor can you print comments). It is useless for page layout since you can no longer view a page spread, nor set alernating left/right margins and headers and footers. A lot of advance typographical support has gone missing, too. Non contgious text selection? Gone. How many pages in your document? You have to dig down in the little "word count" bubble (after turning it on) to find out. Why? As an early review put it, Pages 5 is an "unmitigated disaster."
To stop being promted to update, go to system preferences and uncheck "automatically check for updates."
